"I began Clear Dark in 1995. Originally it was a freeform, non-linear, semi-autobiographical, narrative, noir, comic book-style zine. I always intended to suggest things as a story and not tell events directly.

As time went on I began to increase the production value, to draw without dialog, and with less and less panels per page, until ending up with something more abstract yet photorealistic, and psychedelic yet less delirious. The last issue, number 8, took many hours over many years to complete. As with many artists, I imagine my work to be a distillation of what I am and what I've seen. I suppose there's been a lot happening."

oh to be the cream

the songs posted here are temporary and almost never used with permission... they are just part of an ongoing mixtape of sounds, words and images. if you are yourself an artist, or represent one, and would like us to remove your music from this site feel free to holler explatives at us via sparkwood.n.21@gmail.com. incidentally, if you happen to be a fan of mixtapes, ephemera, and random bits of everyday life... then send us your address and we will in turn send you something in the mail. we take issue with the lack of "real world" interaction involved in interwebbing...
